holistic lawyers in the news
People often ask me if I consider myself a “holistic lawyer” because I help my clients look at their legal issues in terms of their values, life goals and larger interests. Although I do consider the “whole client” in delivering my legal services, I’ve tended to shy away from the “holistic” label because there are so many ways to interpret the word and what it means to practice law holistically. This recent article from CS Monitor.com profiles some lawyers who work in the holistic mode. I really like how the piece avoids pigeonholing or marginalizing these practitioners by showing how they put their own spin on the term “holistic” in meeting their clients’ mainstream legal needs.
